Appsoft is working on a PhotoShop-like (meaning a superset of Adobe PhotoShop's  
feature set not their "look and feel" (intellectual property attorneys take  
note)) application for NeXTstep.  It is scheduled for release in July and is  
currently in alpha.  It has a combination of Image Processing, Photo Editing  
and Bitmap Editing (Painting) features.  It has been written from scratch to  
run under NeXTstep.  It currently does not use any of the Pixelist code from  
NeXT, although this may change.  Presently we are not releasing any copies of  
the program because it is changing daily and we wouldn't be able to support it  
properly.  Pricing is not yet set, but it will be comparable to Adobe's  
PhotoShop Mac pricing.  There is talk of releasing another version without  
image processing features at a lower price but we haven't decided yet.

As soon as we get a stable beta version we will be releasing it to a limited  
(less than 50) number of beta testers.  We already have many requests for beta  
copies but if you want to get in the queue, send an email message to  
image@appsoft.com requesting to be on the beta list.  We would also like to  
hear from you about any features, comments, etc.  Flames are welcome, if people  
are interested we will post summaries of comments and flames to the net.

As soon as we ship it we will release a demo version on the archives.  We will  
also be releasing a demo version of Appsoft Draw to the archives within the  
next two weeks, after it ships.
